Testimonials/Recommendations

"Darn, you're good! I can't tell you how lucky I feel to have found you!"—Kathy Robinson, Founder/Career and Business Consultant, TurningPoint

"I have worked with Faye for over 13 years and in that time I have never met a more consistently effective writer with as much professionalism and integrity. Her writing is fantastic. Always concise, well researched and on message. Her work is addicting -- I just keep coming back for more!"
—Jackson D. Carson - Owner and President, Wavelength Media

"Faye is quick, incisive and masterful at communicating and hands-on-teaching. In less than two hours, sitting side-by-side at Panera, Faye taught me the ins and outs of Tweeting, and helped me set up my Twitter site. Within twenty-four hours, I was receiving followers and following."
—Faye Snider, LICSW, MFA, Writer and Therapist

"I have never worked with a better, more professional or more talented writer than Faye. Her quality and speed of writing never cease to amaze me. Even if she knows very little about the subject matter, Faye still manages to write in a cohesive, informative and logical manner. Our company felt a huge loss years ago when Faye left a full-time position with us to take another job offer, so we're excited that she's available now as a contractor. Working with Faye really takes the pain out of copywriting. She is a true asset to anyone who has the pleasure of working with her." —Donille Massa, Bulbrite

“An absolute great business decision to engage Faye as a freelance writer! She is fast which is so important when much of our work is time sensitive… She captures the essence of a story and puts it on paper effectively and she has great contacts! Faye makes our stories come to life! Successful Outcome? – YES! …we’ve found volunteer puppy raisers as a result of her talent! Thank you to Faye!”
—Linda Damato, Regional Marketing Manager for Guiding Eyes for the Blind Canine Development Center

"From the moment Faye and I engaged in our press release and Web content project, I found her to be fully present and highly responsive. She quickly grasped some difficult technical concepts and was then able to assist us with translating our complex message into simple, clear text for our audience."
—Lana Holmes, CEO, KnowledgeFilter, Inc.

"I can't even begin to tell you how impressed I am with your work so far. I feel like I'm hallucinating because it looks like you did almost everything I asked for in less than 24 hours, and it was all presented EXACTLY as I would have wanted it." —Chris Lyons, Chris Lyons Communications

"I contacted Faye Rapoport and we met for coffee to discuss my [editing] needs. Two weeks later I welcomed a meticulously buffed up manuscript which led almost immediately to landing a publisher!" — Paul Martin, Paralympic athlete, Iron Man and author of ONE MAN'S LEG
